Jack Osbourne<\/a> and his wife Aree Gearhart have welcomed their new baby girl into the world and named her in honor of Ozzy<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIntroducing Ozzy Matilda Osbourne,\u201d Jack declared in an Instagram post announcing the news, revealing that the newborn was named after her grandfather, Ozzy Osbourne. The accompanying image showed that baby Ozzy was born on the morning of March 5, weighing in at\u00a07 lbs and 12 oz. The first public picture of the child (which you can see below) shows her snuggled on a blanket. Appropriately, a bat plush toy \u2014 resembling the real bat her famous grandfather once bit the head off of \u2014 sits nearby.<\/p>\n This is the fifth child for Jack. He and Gearhart are also the parents to Maple, age three, while Jack and his ex-wife Lisa Stelly have three daughters: Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and Minnie, seven.<\/p>\n READ MORE: What Ozzy Osbourne Learned From His Six Children Over the Years<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n While the new baby’s given name is Ozzy, her grandfather’s legendary moniker was actually a nickname. The man known to the world as Ozzy Osbourne was born John Michael Osbourne. Kids in elementary school teased him with the name “Ozzy” \u2014 a shortened form of his last name \u2014 and it stuck.<\/p>\n Ozzy Osbourne died July 22<\/a> at the age of 76. During a conversation with The Sun<\/em><\/a>\u00a0several months later, Jack confirmed that Ozzy knew he had another granddaughter on the way prior to his death.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing \u2014 probably in that kind of \u2018full cycle\u2019 category, in a weird way,\u201d Jack explained at the time, noting that the pregnancy had helped lift up his family following the loss of his father. \u201cIt\u2019s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.\u201d<\/p>\n By all accounts, Ozzy was a proud grandfather who enjoyed spending time with his grandkids. In a 2010 interview<\/a> with Howard Stern<\/a>, the\u00a0Black Sabbath<\/a> singer famously revealed that his grandchildren called him “Grandpa Ozzy.”<\/p>\n Below, see photos of Ozzy and his family through the years.<\/p>\n To celebrate the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne, here are photos of the rocker’s family from the late ’70s through 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Lauryn Schaffner<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOzzy Osbourne Knew He Had Another Grandchild on the Way<\/h3>\n
